Blast from the Past

Researchers recently tested the effects of walking on a treadmill desk while completing mentally demanding tasks. Their results showed that that performance on cognitive tasks are not impaired by walking on an active workstation. They then concluded that implementing active workstations into offices and classrooms could be a way to decrease sitting time without impairing work performance.

This is great news, and it’s something I can attest to myself as far as productivity goes. I’ve written before about the treadmill desk I set up to help me get a minimum of 10,000 steps per day while doing work on my computer. Sitting all day could be even worse for your health than smoking, so I strongly encourage anyone with a desk job to find a way to incorporate some low level movement into their work day. I’ve found that my treadmill desk is an excellent way to ensure that I get the movement I need while not only maintaining productivity, but possibly even boosting it!

What’s awesome is that I stand at my desk day in and day out! And I definitely try to walk as much as I possibly can (even after working out 2 hours a day, every day)… What stinks though is Los Angeles is not exactly pedestrian friendly

I’d like to know more about the early-life nutrition programming study. What permanent changes did they find? How early in life are they addressing? It’s a shame some kids don’t have any control over their diets–eating cereal or toast for breakfast, school lunches, and then fast food for dinner bought by the parents.

You can’t be serious about linking to a “red meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer” study. And you might want to emphasize that only cooking the potatoes is not enough, you have to cool them to get any RS.
